Les Alzines

Les Alzines is our pick when we want to just immerse ourselves in the sheer density of the Medes Islands, especially if the usual big-name sites are crowded. We're talking schools of barracuda, so thick they almost block out the sun, twisting and turning right over your head. Drop down to the main wall and you'll find the cracks and crevices alive with curled octopus, their eyes watching you intently, and the vibrant flash of butterfly blennies. It's a site that rewards a slow pace. Don't rush past the gorgonian fans; poke around them and you might spot a well-camouflaged sea scorpion or a gurnard rooting in the sand. We've had some fantastic encounters with stingrays here, gliding effortlessly across the seabed. For those who appreciate the smaller stuff, the variety of gobies and blennies is incredible. It’s a dive that suits anyone who loves to simply be surrounded by fish, but has enough interesting nooks for macro enthusiasts too.
